Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 13:13 · Archive

Torquay United came from a goal down to beat Slough Town 5-1 in National League South.

Slough Town took the lead through a 60th-minute penalty converted by former Torquay striker Saikou Janneh. Torquay responded quickly, with substitute Matt Jay equalising two minutes later with what both outlets describe as an excellent strike.

Torquay took the lead in the 69th minute when substitute Callum Morton scored from close range after the Slough goalkeeper parried a shot. The hosts then dominated the closing stages, with three goals coming between the 87th minute and the third minute of injury time. Jacob Beaumont-Clark scored twice, either side of defender Luke Browne's first goal for the club.

Slough had played with ten men from just before half-time, when new signing Dennis Adeniran was sent off for a second yellow card. Torquay boss Jimmy Ball told BBC Radio Devon: "You get what you deserve in football and we got what we deserved today." He added that Torquay needed patience when teams sit deep defensively, and that the penalty conceded was the turning point that allowed his side to break through.
